Prediction: 2-1
CSKA Sofia
Copenhagen will be looking to extend their thrilling winning run when they take on CSKA Sofia in the Europa League third qualifying round, return leg. The Danes are eager to give fans yet another reason for celebration and despite the fact they defeated the Bulgarian side 2-1 at Stadion Vasil Levski in the first leg, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts, who seem to be on top of their game at the moment. Bosnian international Kenan Kodro, who found the net in the first leg, is likely to lead the line for Copenhagen against CSKA Sofia. The Bulgarians are low on confidence ahead of the trip to Denmark and seeing that they will be without defender Bozhidar Chorbadzhiyski (suspension) in the return leg, we believe that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Thursday’s football match.

Viktor Fischer is a professional football player who was born in Aarhus, Denmark on 9 June, 1994. Fischer used to play for several Danish clubs during his youth career (Lyseng, Viby, AGF, Midtylland) and in 2012 he made his senior debut for Eredivisie giants Ajax. The Dutch forward played his first game for Ajax on 20 October 2012 in a 3-3 draw and he scored his first goal for the Dutch outfit on 31 October 2012 against ONS Sneek in the KNVB Cup. Viktor is the grandson of former Danish football player Poul Pedersen. Both prefer to play on the wing, but Viktor Fisher is capable of playing as attacking midfielder or centre forward as well. It has to be noted that he scored ten goals in 23 appearances for Ajax in the 2012/2013 Eredivisie campaign. On 14 November, 2012 he made his Denmark debut in a friendly against Turkey.

Highlighted Team (FC Copenhagen):
The most successful club in the history of Danish football F.C.

The Team of the City as Copenhagen is called in Denmark has won the Danish football championship eleven times, while it has also won the Danish Cup on seven occasions.
